Will Dempsey is the founder of Heads Held High Counseling. He started this practice with a simple goal: to help people. Over time, he realized how often the healthcare system gets in the way of that. Insurances don’t pay providers enough to make a livable wage, but charging what’s fair for therapists can make care unaffordable for clients. It’s a broken system, and he wanted to do something about it. That’s why he expanded into a group practice. By bringing together a talented team, we’re able to push for higher insurance rates while still providing care that’s accessible—especially for marginalized communities that are often priced out of mental health services. Our team also specializes in culturally competent care. As members of the queer community ourselves, we have a deeper understanding of what it means to live as a queer person and the unique challenges that come with it. While he's no longer seeing clients directly, he pours his heart into running this team because he believes in our mission. We strive to meet you where you’re at and guide you toward reaching your goals—whatever they may be. Having been in therapy himself for over 10 years, he understands how frustrating it can be to navigate insurance and mental health care. That perspective drives me to reduce as many barriers to care as possible. Outside of work, he's a drag performer — a passion that reflects his values as a social worker. Both drag and social work are about fighting for social and political justice, and they inspire him to keep showing up for the communities he cares about.

My core values shape my approach to therapy by influencing how I live my life daily. I believe it’s important to live a life outwardly that is congruent with who you are when no one else is looking. My hope is that my clients feel a genuineness that creates a sense of safety and comfort in therapy sessions. Overall, I believe the core characteristics of the heart are what fuels lasting change. The attainment of knowledge, embodiment of faith, and willingness to engage in new experiences add to this foundation.

After a prolonged period of struggle, you're prepared to get the help you need. How can one, however, locate a therapist in Minnesota that they can truly rely on? Trust is a major key, along with clicking with your therapist, in order for therapy to work. Hi, my name is Diane Cerven, and I became a Licensed therapist in Minnesota because I saw desperation for further assistance and pain wherever I looked. I enrolled in 2002 in a master’s program in Counseling as I started working with people with anxiety and marital issues. I realized as I was going through that program so many people need help in their marriages and within themselves. Even to the point that many people don’t realize they have anxiety. I've gotten advanced training in marriage counseling, especially with communication. These are not sessions that you argue for an hour, stir things up, and try to put the pieces back together until the next session. I am very skills and solution focused. The same for anxiety counseling. I keep on top of the latest ways to help people best reduce or even eliminate their anxiety. If you want freedom from anxiety, we’ll walk that journey together. I have the skills and tactics that truly work, regardless of your personality—whether you are talkative, strong and silent, or whatever life events you have experienced. In addition, I'll either alter the course or recommend you somewhere if what we do doesn't work. Beyond anything else, I want you to truly heal, go forward, and lead a happy, fulfilled life. If you want to move forward in your journey by decreasing anxiety or improve your marriage, I’m here to help. It’s time for a compassionate ear, big heart, and the know how to get you to your best self. I also offer Christian counseling for those who want it. All sessions are online for your convenience. When calling our office please ask to have sessions with Diane.

The essence of healing first starts with acknowledging that there is something that needs to be worked on. I commend you for taking the necessary steps to start on this journey.

I am here to support you. I am unbiased, non-judgmental, and genuine in how I approach therapy with my clients. I am accepting and realize that everyone has a life story and I am here to navigate that with you in the best way possible.
